Chapter 688: Meet the Old Man Who Wrote the Book!
At the Linzi City Gate, accompanied by one edict after another, all the generals and generals of the Qi State looked left and right in confusion, and they were at a loss.
The king of Qi ordered, and the country of Qi surrendered to Qin!
This......
For a while, many young and vigorous generals of the Qi army were unwilling, but looking at the people around them, they did not dare to disobey the king's order.
They knew better than anyone whether the soldiers under his command could dare to raise their swords with him and defend Linzi to the death, not to mention that even if a few soldiers dared, what about the others? This dense crowd of Qi soldiers on the city tower, are they willing to defend it? Could it be that just as they opened their mouths, everyone turned around and arrested them and handed them over to the King of Qi, who in turn handed them over to the Qin army?
Thinking of this, many young generals of the Qi army, no matter how ambitious they were, couldn't help but show decadence on their faces.
"Take off your armor and go home!"
A general of the Qi army suddenly threw away the sword in his hand, then quickly took off his armor, turned his head and walked down the city tower under the gaze of countless people.
Looked at.
Countless Qi soldiers also discarded their bows and swords, and leaned against the city wall one by one, some rolled down the city road, and were also covered by clothes and armor, and were trampled on.
Cohesion often requires the right time and place, and dispersing morale is often as small as only one person's move.
In the face of the world-famous Qin army iron cavalry outside the city, in the eyes of all the Qi soldiers, they don't want to fight hard, everyone wants to live, no one wants to die on the battlefield, wouldn't it be more meaningful to go home to marry a wife and have children.
"Let's go!"
"Go home! Fortunately, there is no need to go to the battlefield and fight with the Qin people! ”
"But no, I saw Zhao Bian and Qin Qi that day, those are all people who kill people without blinking......"
With the sound of one after another, the expected mood was sluggish, and it didn't seem to appear in the entire Qi army, with the removal of clothes and armor, and the loss of weapons, one by one, one by one, now it is more like an ordinary person in the Qi country, and even most of the people, who eat all year round, and the calluses in their hands are not as thick as those of the cultivators.
It's noon.
With the opening of the gate of Linzi City, on the head of the deserted Linzi City, only the chaotic Changge and the empty flag of Qi can be seen.
Qi Wangjian was naked, holding the king's seal, with the civil and military officials of Qi, as well as all the female dependents, step by step out of the Linzi city gate, when he saw the many Qin generals riding war horses in the distance outside the city, looking at the crowds of Qin iron cavalry army, at this moment Qi Wangjian's heart was full of complexity.
After walking out of the city for more than ten steps, Qi Wangjian turned his head and looked back at the city tower, where the flag of Qi was at a glance, and his old eyes were slightly red.
Qi country!
This 800-year-old Sheji will eventually be lost to his Qi Wangjian, and the elderly Qi Wangjian is not comfortable in his heart.
"Oh my God!"
The corners of the old man's mouth opened, Qi Wang Jian followed the banner of Qi State, looked up at the sky, and finally said a thousand words, only to turn into a sigh.
A moment later.
With Bai Yan leading a group of Qin army generals, they slowly came to the not far from Qi Wangjian, and many officials of Qi led by Qi Wangjian, great Confucians, female dependents, and relatives of Qi State, knelt on the ground one after another, showing their submission to Bai Yan, who represented Qin State.
"Tian Jian, leading the civil and military officials of the Qi State and the temple sacrifices, is willing to surrender to the Qin State and signal the courtiers! To the ...... of all generations"
Qi Wangjian looked at Bai Yan with complicated eyes, and then slowly kowtowed to Bai Yan.
At this time.
A general of the Qin army came to Qi Wangjian's side step by step, and after glancing at the crowd in front of him, he bent down and picked up the king seal in Qi Wangjian's hand, turned around and returned to Bai Yan step by step, holding the king seal in both hands, and handed it to Bai Yan.
After Bai Yan saw it, he confirmed that it was the seal of the king of Qi, and handed it to Li Xin, and when he saw the layout map symbolizing the territory of Qi was also taken by the soldiers of the Qin army, Bai Yan turned over and dismounted.
Bai Yan stepped forward step by step, looked at Qi Wangjian who was kowtowing, and after seeing Master Gongzi, Tian Lao and others, he saw dozens of officials such as Tian Xie, Tian Cong, Tian Sui, and many other female dependents.
Coming to Qi Wangjian, who was kneeling on the ground, Bai Yan bent down and supported Qi Wangjian with both hands, and when his hand touched Qi Wangjian's naked body, he watched the old man with red eyes in front of him take off King Qi's clothes.
"Fang Cai Bai Yan is Qin Chen!"
Bai Yan said to Qi Wangjian, and when he helped Qi Wangjian to get up, Bai Yan retreated step by step under the gaze of Master Gongzi, Tian Cong, Tian Sui, and Concubine Li.
"At this moment, Bai Yan is a Qi person!"
Bai Yan knelt on the ground with his legs on his knees in front of everyone, in front of the clansmen of the Qi State, the daughters of the Qi State, the hundred officials of the Qi State, and even all the soldiers of the Qin Army, and kowtowed to the King of Qi with all his eyes.
"Bai Yan, thank you for the grace of King Qi! The king of Qi is in power, the territory of Qi has been without war for decades, the people live in peace and happiness, and the people recuperate! Now the king of Qi is willing to go out of the city, which is the luck of Qi people's lives! The country of Qi is not there, the deeds of the king of Qi should be praised through the ages, and the name of benevolence should be admired by all generations! Qi people Bai Yan, ashamed! ”
After Bai Yan kowtowed, he raised his hands and said to Qi Wangjian word by word, and the voice clearly reached everyone's ears outside the quiet city gate.
At this moment, everyone couldn't help but look at Bai Yan, whether it was Tian Cong, Tian Wei brothers, or Li Xin, Yang Yan and other generals, even Master Gongzi, Tian Lao and others, hearing Bai Yan's words, their hearts couldn't help but be a little touched.
Especially when I saw Bai Yan, who was a martial artist and a great good man of the Qin State, said 'ashamed' to Wang Jian in person, the two simple words made everyone's hearts tremble, and they felt the weight behind these two words.
Everyone looked at Qi Wangjian's gaze, and they couldn't help but change a little.
"Good! Good! ”
Qi Wangjian stepped forward with red eyes, full of tears, and helped Bai Yan to get up.
When he heard Bai Yan with his own ears and admitted that it was him Tian Jian, a benevolent and virtuous gentleman, the emotions that had been suppressed in his heart finally slowly dissipated.
Looking at Bai Yan who got up in front of him, Tian Jian just felt a pity in his heart, he had been waiting for Bai Yan to meet him as a Qi person, and now he got his wish, but unfortunately it was such a scene.
"All the soldiers in the city have surrendered, Wu Liejun, don't hurt the Qi people!"
Qi Wangjian said to Bai Yan, perhaps after listening to Bai Yan's words, Qi Wangjian finally wanted to do something for the people of Qi State, even if it was just a word.
People are very complicated, what they can't get is always in turmoil, but what they get has never been cherished, this may be a common disease of people, and what is even more terrible is that people don't understand at the beginning, so they don't change, and when they understand, they will unnaturally forget and ignore again.
"King Qi rest assured!"
Bai Yan nodded, and then motioned for him to bring the silk robe and put it on for King Qi.
"Wu Liejun, Qi Xianghou Sheng clan, was slaughtered by Tian Dan, Tian Heng and others, united with the three Shi clans, after Wu Liejun entered the city, he must catch the real murderer!"
Qi Wangjian looked at Bai Yan and pleaded.
This is also one of the main reasons why Qi Wangjian is so anxious, whether it is the assassination outside the palace gate, the search is fruitless, or not long after Qi Xianghou Sheng entered the palace, after going back, the family was slaughtered that night, which made Qi Wangjian make up his mind.
Qi Wangjian was afraid that even Hou Sheng would be assassinated, and it wouldn't be long before Tian Dan would unite the old clans of the three places and make a move against other Qi ministers, even Fei Hanzi and him, the king of Qi, were no exception.
Concubine Li's words are not unreasonable.
"Qi Xianghou Sheng was killed?"
When Bai Yan heard Qi Wangjian's words, he frowned, and his eyes instantly looked at the civil and military officials of Qi State on the side, and then glanced at Master Gongzi, Tian Lao, Lu Lao and others without a trace.
"Take the soldiers into the city and guard the city gates!"
Bai Yan said to him.
He nodded, but before he could turn around, he saw that inside the city gate, a eunuch hurriedly came over to report, in front of Qi Wangjian and Bai Yan, saying that Tian Dan, Tian Heng and others had united with the scholars in the city, and nearly a thousand people rushed out of the east gate while the city gate was not guarded.
"Arrest someone!"
When he heard the eunuch's words, his eyes widened angrily, and he ran to the side of the war horse, and after getting on the horse, he led the Qin army's iron cavalry and rushed towards the city gate.
At this time.
Looking at the countless iron horsemen pouring into the city, in the eyes of many Qi officials, Concubine Li took her husband, Tian Lao and others, among the many officials, step by step in front of Bai Yan and Qi Wangjian.
"Yan Li, meet Wu Liejun!"
Concubine Li saluted to Bai Yan, with the surrender of King Qi Jian, the country of Qi also followed the flags of the country of Qi on the city tower, there is no more country of Qi, Concubine Li saw Bai Yan, naturally she would not call herself Concubine Li.
Bai Yan returned the salute to Concubine Li, looking at the soft Concubine Li, the two looked at each other, and they both understood the meaning of each other's closeness.
"This is the former Taifu of Qi State! The fact that the book that has been spread all over the world is from the hand of an old gentleman! Presumably Wu Liejun has also heard of it! ”
Concubine Li turned sideways, and after Bai Yan saluted with Master Rein, Tian Lao and others, she introduced an old man beside Master Rouzi to Bai Yan.
Hearing Concubine Li's words, Yang Yan, Li Xin and the others all looked at the old man in surprise.
The mysterious old man who was famous all over the world before was actually this person.
"I have heard the name of Taifu for a long time! Previously, in Xianyang, Bai Yan had the honor of being favored by King Qin, and he had read Mr.'s book! ”
Bai Yan raised his hand, looked at the old man with a sallow face and a thin face, and raised his hand to salute.
"But it's not enough! I heard that the little girl has become the wife of Wu Liejun, I wonder if she can be okay now? ”
The old man saw that Bai Yan didn't seem to know that he was fake, and his heart suddenly settled down a lot, he who had been cheating all the year round, and immediately stabilized his mind, as long as Wu Liejun Bai Yan's wife, the rumored Tian Feiyan didn't see him, for him, he was not afraid that others would still recognize him as a fake.
In this life, he has traveled all over the world, relying on a mouth to eat and drink, and even the secret temptations of the King of Qi, Concubine Li, and even the officials of the Qi State have been brought by a word, no matter how he asks, he has a way to deal with it.
As long as Bai Yan can't see that he is a fake, then the rest is within his calculations.
"Back to the old man! My wife is well! It was only a few days after getting married, Bai Yan left Xianyang, Bai Yan didn't know much about Mr., and when the old man returned to Xianyang, Bai Yan also wanted to invite the old man to go to the house and talk to his wife! ”
Bai Yan looked at the arrogant old man, and said with a humble expression, with a very sincere attitude.
When the old man heard Bai Yan's words, his eyes were stunned, and then he was completely relieved.
"Many years have passed in the blink of an eye, things are people, I am afraid that it is goodbye, and people are difficult to recognize......"
Shaking his head, under the gaze of Qi Wangjian and others, the old man sighed, and then looked at Bai Yan: "I heard that King Qin is in power, and you want to see the old man?" ”
"Yes! King Qin has always liked to read the works of the old gentleman, and once ordered the world to enter Qin first! ”
Bai Yan nodded, looked at the old gentleman, and then glanced at Qi Wangjian, Concubine Li and others on the side.
At this moment, Bai Yan was actually very curious, and he didn't understand why this old man was obviously a fake, why he stayed by King Qi's side for so long in the palace of Linzi Palace, but he was not seen through by King Qi, and even Gongzi Sheng, Concubine Li, Tian Xie and other ministers of Qi couldn't see through that this old man was impersonating.
No matter how mediocre Qi Wangjian is, it is impossible not to ask anything, not to mention that there are Tian Xie, Master Gongzi, Concubine Li and others, it is impossible for them not to ask.
"Now the Qin army has entered Linzi with iron horses, so let's do it! That's it! The old man went to Xianyang to meet the King of Qin! If you have the chance, meet the little girl too! Oh, but I haven't gotten used to it yet, that little girl is already the wife of Wu Liejun! ”
The old man spoke, then laughed, and raised his hand to touch his long gray beard.
Hearing the old man's words, whether it was Li Xin or Yang Yan, they all frowned, not to mention the other generals of the Qin army.
The old man's attitude was obviously a little contemptuous of Bai Yan, and even a little rude.
"My wife will be overjoyed when she learns about it!"
Bai Yan didn't seem to care about the old man's attitude, or rather, in the eyes of Qi Wangjian, Concubine Li, Master Lu and others, what Bai Yan cared more about was that he could take the old gentleman with the book to Xianyang and bring it to Yingzheng.
"Order someone to protect the old gentleman, and don't let the traitor assassinate!"
Bai Yan turned his head and instructed Yang Yan.
In fact, Bai Yan knows better than anyone else that even if he goes to Xianyang, this pretending old man will not see Feiyan, otherwise his identity is destined to be exposed, what is the idea of the old man, Bai Yan has roughly guessed, but this does not prevent Bai Yan from still sending someone to protect this old man.
In the future, as long as he tries a few times to make sure that this old man will not show his flaws, or that he has the ability to dress up, then Bai Yan is more than everyone else, and he is happy to take this old man to Yingzheng's side, and even Bai Yan doesn't mind, before going to Xianyang, he secretly sends a few bamboo slips to this old man, so that he can become a half-fake and half-true person.
The unification of the Qin State, the county system and the sub-feudal system are destined to produce contradictions, look at the fate of everyone in the later generations, after the death of Ying Zheng, the descendants of Ying Zheng, and Li Si, who proposed the county system!
Bai Yan also wants to make a 'Shang Ying' appear in the Qin State again, a 'Shang Ying' who will not die well no matter whether it succeeds or fails.
"No!"
Yang Yan saluted Bai Yan and received the order, although Yang Yan didn't like the arrogance of the old man, but this did not affect Yang Yan also knew the importance of the old man in this book, and how eager Yingzheng was to see this old man.
………………………………
Qidi, Langya.
"Are you sure the person who is writing the book is Bai Yan?"
In a mansion, a middle-aged man dressed in silk clothes and a warlock, about fifty years old, asked the disciples behind him as he walked.
"Teacher, the disciple is not sure! Many years ago in Xianyang, a Qi boy named Yan secretly sent bamboo slips to Linzi in Qi through Lu's shop, and it was also sent to Tianfu and handed over to Tian Ding's daughter Tian Feiyan! ”
Liu Yu's face was a little hesitant, and he didn't dare to say nonsense, so he could only repeat what he knew at the beginning and repeat it again and again.
"In other words, that young man is Bai Yan, who is now named Daliang, and the person who wrote the book is likely to be Bai Yan!"
Xu Fu came to the pavilion and felt the blazing heat along the coast.
The breeze blew and blew a little gray hair on Xu Fu's shoulders, but Xu Fu, who was dressed as a warlock, had a face that was always thinking about something.
"If it is Bai Yan, why is Bai Yan not known to the world? Lian Yingzheng ......"
Xu Fu muttered, thinking back to the whole thing, Xu Fu didn't dare to be sure at this moment, whether the person who wrote the book was Bai Yan.
If it weren't for Bai Yan, how would the bamboo slips that his disciple Liu Yu saw, how to explain it, this is too much of a coincidence, not to mention that Bai Yan is young, he is a martial artist, and he is a great good man, and he destroys Wei and Chu for the Qin State, this ability is too amazing.
However, if it is Bai Yan, why is it obviously a good thing, but Bai Yan wants to hide it, even Tian Feiyan, the daughter of Tian Ding in the past, also told King Qi and his father that they are an old man?
It's a pity that except for the bamboo slips, even the Lu family has never seen other bamboo slips.
"I can't tell anyone about this for the time being!"
While speaking, Xu Fu seemed to have made up his mind, and turned his head to look at Liu Yu: "Tell Tian Rong that as long as there is a way for the old man to meet Yingzheng, the old man will agree to go to Xianyang in person!" ”
